Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother Chapter 397 - When Are We Going to Stop Being Single?

Chapter 397: When Are We Going to Stop Being Single?

Beauty Wu gasped lightly and said, “The pool is for swimming. If you want to chat, let’s go up and talk.”

Wei Shuyi looked unhappy.

Beauty Wu also knew that her words were a little offensive.

She coughed before saying, “Let’s compete.”

“No.” Wei Shuyi couldn’t beat her.

“We’re not competing on swimming speed.”

“Then what should we compete on?”

Beauty Wu pointed at the water beneath her and said, “It’s a compet.i.tion to see who can hold their breath underwater for longer.”

Wei Shuyi shook his head again.

Beauty Wu said angrily, “You’re so unwilling to compete with me. Are you a man?” She glanced at Wei Shuyi.

“…Let’s compete then.” He could not stand being despised by Beauty Wu.

“Sure.”

Beauty Wu looked up at the clock on the wall. The hour hand pointed to four o’clock, the minute hand pointed to twenty-four, and the second hand pointed to thirty seconds. She quickly said, “When the minute hand points to twenty-five, we’ll hold our breaths and go into the water at the same time to see who’s better.”

“What’s the reward?” Wei Shuyi had just asked when he heard Beauty Wu say, “It’s time!”

Wei Shuyi quickly went into the water and didn’t even bring his goggles with him.

Beauty Wu entered the water almost at the same time as him.

The two of them looked at each other.

Under the water, their facial features seemed to have been magnified. They were both bare-faced, but their clean faces looked especially good. Beauty Wu could even see the pores on Wei Shuyi’s face. Wei Shuyi saw Beauty Wu’s eyes moving, but he didn’t know what she was looking at.

Beauty Wu waited quietly for the time to pa.s.s. Occasionally, she would glance at the clock on the pool hall’s wall and see that a minute had pa.s.sed.

She looked at Wei Shuyi.

Unexpectedly, Wei Shuyi looked quite relaxed and didn’t seem to be lacking too much oxygen.

She raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Wei Shuyi caught her raising her eyebrows and found it funny, but he didn’t dare to laugh.

Although he looked quite relaxed on the surface, the oxygen in his body had long been exhausted. He was holding on stubbornly. However, seeing that Beauty Wu did not seem to be in much pain and looked like she could hold it in for another two to three minutes, he knew that he was bound to lose this time.

However, he still persisted.

After about half a minute, Beauty Wu saw a change in Wei Shuyi’s expression.

Gradually, his expression turned ugly.

Beauty Wu was worried that something would happen to him, so she pointed up with her finger, signaling the end of the compet.i.tion. When the two of them came out of the water, they swam to the sh.o.r.e.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he carried his things out of the changing room. Wei Shuyi suggested, “Let’s go watch a movie.”

“Let’s eat first.”

“Fine.”

After leaving the swimming pool, Wei Shuyi asked Beauty Wu, “What do you want to eat tonight?”

Hearing about food, Beauty Wu was interested.

“I want to eat Mandarin duck fish dates.”

“I know a restaurant that makes Mandarin duck fish dates that taste especially good. Follow me.”

The two of them took a taxi to a Hunan restaurant called “Fish and Shrimp Family”. They ordered Mandarin duck fish dates, a vegetable dish, and a plate of pan-fried lotus root slices. They didn’t order anything else as they didn’t want to waste food. When the dishes were served, Beauty Wu took her phone and booked movie tickets online.

“There are five films showing today, and only three can be seen at night. Take a look and choose one.” After saying that, she handed her phone to Wei Shuyi.

Wei Shuyi took the phone and looked at it.

A magical blockbuster, a domestic romance movie, and a recent popular domestic anime film.

Wei Shuyi asked Beauty Wu for her opinion. “Which one do you want to see?”

Beauty Wu said, “You probably don’t like what I want to see.”

“Hm?”

“I want to watch this anime movie.”

Wei Shuyi was not surprised that she chose this. “Actually, I want to see this too.”

“Then what are you waiting for? Buy the tickets.”

Wei Shuyi returned the phone to Beauty Wu without buying a ticket.

“Why aren’t you buying them?” Beauty Wu looked at the remaining seats and was prepared to buy tickets.

Wei Shuyi then said, “Let’s buy them on the spot. Everyone is booking tickets online now. It will take a long time to queue up for the ticketing machine. Instead, it’s more efficient to buy them on the spot.”

“That works too.”

She put away her phone and soon, the dishes were served.

Seeing that the dishes were beautiful, Beauty Wu could not help but take a photo and post it on her WeChat Moments. It immediately attracted the ridicule of her colleagues.

Brother Song: [My attention is on the man opposite you. Hahaha, Sister Beauty is on a blind date?]

Captain w.a.n.g: [This fish looks good. Which shop is it from?]

Liu An: [Captain w.a.n.g, are you inviting us to eat?]

Kang Hui: [Adulterous couple!]

Ah Sheng: [Eh? Eh! This is Brother Wei! You guys…]

Mr. Fang: [You’ve made up.]

Beauty Wu replied to everyone’s messages one by one. When she saw Kang Hui scolding them by saying they were an adulterous couple, she could not help but laugh.

“Don’t play with your phone when you’re eating.” A big hand reached over and s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone from Beauty Wu’s hand.

Beauty Wu stuck out her tongue before picking up her chopsticks and tasting the fish.

“I read on the Internet that the Mandarin duck fish dates in Binjiang City are delicious. I’m almost thirty years old. The number of times I’ve eaten this dish can be counted on one hand.”

Wei Shuyi continued. “Well, I have eaten them many times. Yuan Jun brought me to this shop.” Speaking of Yuan Jun, he thought of something and said to Beauty Wu, “Yuan Jun will get married in February and marry Yingying.”

“Then are you coming back?”

“I’ll try to apply for leave and come back for the wedding.”

Nodding, Beauty Wu also said, “Senior Brother is getting married at the end of the year.”

Wei Shuyi couldn’t help but tease. “Is the whole team leaving singlehood?”

Beauty Wu smiled.

The dishes were hot and still steaming. The fragrance lingered.

Beauty Wu’s eyes stared at Wei Shuyi through the hot air. Her lips quivered for a moment, and she tried to endure it. In the end, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. She asked softly. “Then when are we going to stop being single?”
